[QUOTE="Guest, post: 138326"] Hi, After being on the pointy end of 'Nam........... As the saying goes, "follow the money"! Vietnam wasn't about preventing Communism. It was about "them" getting their money from the rubber plantations. "They" did not want them "nationalized" by the communists. And, I didn't want anything to do with their civil war. BTW: "they" and "them" are us, in Washington, DC. And, it's pretty hard to like "civilians", when a 12 year old that has been bringing cokes to your truck for a couple months, suddenly throws a grenade in, because a VC gave her $20.(Or, said her parents (family, village) would be killed). What we need to do is go in, kick ***, and go home, period. But, just like 'Nam, guess what we're not doing? Again, "FOLLOW THE MONEY"!!!!! Just my opinion, and I could be wrong. C'ya, John [/QUOTE]
